Two out of three ain’t bad, especially when you’re doing it every series. And doing it without David Ortiz and Daisuke Matsuzaka playing. Midway through June, the Sox have opened up a 2 1/2 game lead in the AL East over the Tampa Bay Rays, who are still around. Also beginning to come up in [...]

In case you haven’t heard yet, five Red Sox are leading the All-Star balloting in the AL. Jason Varitek, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are all on track to start on July 15. That would be interesting to see so many position players as starters in the game at Yankee Stadium, [...]

ESPN’s Jayson Stark has some Red Sox rumors:

Now this is too much. Once again, rivalry has turned into ugly brutality. A bunch of Red Sox fans were taunting a woman outside of a bar in New Hampshire, and she drove her car right into a man. He died in the hospital of severe head trauma.
I don’t want to take away any responsibility [...]

With a very strong outing by Josh Beckett (2-1) and a two home run performance by Manny Ramirez, the Red Sox earned a split of this two game series in New York. Beckett gave the Boston bullpen some much needed rest after some very short starts this week, which overexposed the middle relievers; that’s never [...]

It was a strange sight, seeing David Ortiz on the bench. I guess even DHs need a day off now and then. The number 3 spot was filled by J.D. Drew, who went 0-3 with 2 walks and 2 runs scored. The Red Sox were able to take game 3 of this first series against [...]

Three hits, three walks, four runs. Two outs. That was what Bartolo Colon contributed today in the Sox’ only Spring contest against the Yankees. Colon seemed to struggle with command in this outing, and it cost him against what is still the best lineup in baseball. Julian Tavarez came into the game, and escaping the [...]

Unfortunately, every nation has some of ‘em. A Red Sox scout, Jesse Levis, has been charged with something really gross and inappropriate. Yech.
Can’t say I’m too proud of this story, either. Come on, fans, let’s not give people reasons to talk like this.

Well, you’ve all heard by now, but Omar Minaya and the Mets have won the the sweepstakes for Johan Santana. The Mets are in the midst of a 72-hour negotiating window, and they will sign Santana to a big extension, probably in the ballpark of $120-150M dollars, at $20-25M per season, in order to seal [...]

Well, Hank Steinbrenner’s so-called “deadline” has come and gone, and his constant yapping to the press has Bill Smith and the Minnesota front office steamed. Despite having the leading offer a few days ago, Steinbrenner has admitted that he thinks the chances of the Yankees landing Johan Santana are now slim. Multiple reports say they [...]
